Another John Green fave
Green does an excellent job writing a believale female protagonist who struggles with her mental health. If you like his other books, you'll like this one too. I enjoyed reading it. I was laughing and crying throughout most of it.

Great read
John Green has a talent for making his characters feel like real people with very real problems. Aza's struggle with her mental health is heartbreaking and engaging, but the true magic of this book is how her struggles also impact those around her. Davis and Daisy are both well rounded characters who have realistic reactions to Aza's illness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like an inside look at the spiraling invasive thoughts that can be caused by mental illness.

A moving insight into mental health
While it has a fairly fun and playful sounding title, this book is far from being fun and playful. It’s a very interesting but definitely serious take on mental health in teenagers. I’d dare anyone to read this and not find something in common with one of the characters currently residing at Camp Reset. Olive herself is a tormented yet intriguing main character, however she does make for difficult reading at times. As a reader, you can see what’s going on with her even thought she can’t see it herself, and it makes reading quite frustrating, although this is the true reality of mental illness. The book also has a very good message, and almost had me in tears at the end, especially with the letter from the writer Holly Bourne. This is definitely not a feel good story, but definitely one that gets you thinking.

Exploring the impact of trauma
I studied this in school, and it left a profound impact on me. The idea of mental health and the effect of trauma is explored in detail in this book. A woman begins to see a woman trapped in her yellow wallpaper, but is it a ghostly apparition or a manifestation of herself?
